Sharing a story Rachel is 16 years old, five months pregnant and living in a maternity home. After her baby girl is born in January, she plans on placing her for adoption. Giving up my baby for adoption is the best thing because Im only 16 years old. I havent gotten out of high school, Rachel says. Its hard for me to make that decision because my baby is a piece of me. This pregnancy, emotionally, has been quite a roller coaster ride, she says, noting that the hardest part is knowing that she will not be taking her baby home when she leaves the hospital. She knows that she is making the right decision, but wants to have an open adoption. If my daughter ever came to me, I would want to explain to her that I did this so that she could have a loving family, Rachel explains. I want my baby to have opportunities that I cant provide as such a young mom. Do you think she is doing the right thing? #CoOwner
